A Blanket for Me Cold in the dark I sit alone My body no longer keeps me warm My soul searching in the sea I sit on an iceberg on my own Drifting Looking for home Out of nowhere it blows in A blanket being tossed in the wind Glowing with what I need so desperately Can it be Some warmth for me I don't believe what I see Crosses my path saying Take me Give me your hand The fire inside I will ignite It will shine, how very bright I in the darkness am your light No, the wind will blow once more Again, I will be cold to my core Just hold me tight, gently Soft and warm is what I will be On your skin I will lay Never, ever blow away You can count on me to stay If you leave I'll be colder than ever I promise to warm you forever Reach out your hand Take hold of my warmth Straining I catch it on the tips of my fingers So warm So soft Please, please let this linger Pulled around me tight but gentle Never did I think this my destiny My thought My chill would last for eternity All that's around is the cold My blanket warms my very center See? I'll do you no harm Day's past my blanket stayed Weeks, still in my blanket I laid No longer was I afraid "No" said, the wind "with me your destiny lies" Surely, God and the angels heard my cries My arms reaching, grasping my blanket tight Let me go don't fight My blanket being torn from me To warm someone else, it's destiny I sit pretending to hold it still Having now only the deepest chill No warmth not even a thread Colder than ever Why can't I be dead? Came a furious gust Leaving me here a frozen dust
